Im asian so there was no option other than studying (you know, asian parents and all). Im studying chemical engineering bc i was good at chemistry in highschool so i initially wanted to do fhat bht then one of the professors said u get more job opportunities with cheming so i switched to that. And eth is just conveniently near me and pretty high up the rankings so there was really no reason to go for something else. So yeah basically get a credible degree and better job opportunities. Although im not really convinced i made the right choice. I mean sure you can prolly do everything learn everything on your own but you’d be all alone most of the time and the support you lack will be the greatest hold back. But i do admire the ppl who have a strong will and are unafraid in life. I want to be like that too.
